Hey guys,
I was wondering if a gravel substrate would be ok for live plants. As well as the light, a Current USA Freshwater LED+ would that sustain plants? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello cm...
Standard pea-sized gravel is fine for plants. That's what I use. It never compacts, so you don't need to worry about voids that can cause water chemistry problems. It allows good water circulation for plant roots and is easy to vacuum. LED lighting alone isn't going to be enough to sustain even low light light plants. Not sure why you'd use it, unless you had fake plants and just wanted the fish to have a little different look. The little research I've done on it tells me to pass and use a more standard lamp.
Just one reporter's opinion, though.

Hey everyone,
Thanks for the replies! Would I need to provide some type of carbon dioxide? Such as root tabs or Flourish?

I grow all of these plants without issues under similar lighting conditions.
